Alaskan hiking in the Chugach and Mentasta Mountains is talked about in Pam Barnes Murphy's article,"Llama Tales Fron Alaskan Trails," written for Family Adventure Magazine. Pam says that "these personable animals are wonderful walking backpacks. They make a backpacking journey easier, and the campsite more comfortable, while having very little impact in fragile backcountry areas because of their soft, padded feet, and the way they lightly browse and graze on local vegetation."
